dc.description.abstractAdequate knowledge is vital to avert the adverse impacts of climate change that are inherent on livestock production, ensure adequate returns to farmers‟ investment and stimulate expansion and food production thereby bolster the pursuit for food security in Nigeria. This study examines the effect of climate variability on livestock productivity in Nigeria. The study employed Co integration analysis and unit root test to analyze the time-series data between 1977 and 2017, sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin, International Financial Statistics and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The results show that there was variation in trend of annual rainfall, annual temperature, and livestock production. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller test shows that annual rainfall, temperature, and livestock production were non-stationary at level but became stationary at first difference. The Co-integration test indicates that there is a long-run dynamic equilibrium relationship between the variables. It is recommended that government should continually sensitize farmers on the challenges of climate change and possible coping strategies that they can adhere to in order to avert the detrimental effects of climate change on livestock production. Also, government policy should be geared towards smart techniques and develop technology that are not only sustainable but also increase productivity.en_US
